How might we improve the transparency around government spending in Chile?

With Fundación Ciudadano Inteligente we hosted a Datathon inviting data scientists, web developers, designers and journalists to turn datasets into engaging visuals and stories, so that Chilean citizens can access information easily and transparently.
